THE FALL OF PATRIARCHY
Del Birkey

YOU’LL BE INTERESTED TO KNOW
that this is the first and only analysis by an evangelical author on the neglected and misunderstood theme of patriarchy--viewed from its historical, sociological, and cultural realities in view of the biblical data on gender equality.

WHAT THE BOOK IS ABOUT
“Del Birkey links Evangelical and Roman Catholic views of patriarchy, not because they are based upon the biblical text, but because they share a common Western patriarchic tradition. Through careful exegesis and close examination of early church history, he argues that, in effect, both . . . have read their own culture into the biblical text . . . . This book is a wonderful example how in our devotion to the Bible, we apply it uncritically to the modern world . . . with a cultural agenda that has been influenced by more than 3,000 years of tradition.”
Dean Arnold, Professor of Anthropology (in Foreward)

WHAT SOME SAY
“Discriminatory practices that impair community life among Christians are frequently denounced by authors in quest of biblical equality. This book takes the thoughtful reader a step further. It identifies the root cause of such practices as the systemic curse of the patriarchal rule that resulted from the Fall.”
Dr. Gilbert Bilezikian, Wheaton College

“I warmly recommend this book to all concerned to understand what patriarchy is and how it may express itself harmfully in the modern Christian family and church.”
Dr. Alan Johnson, Wheaton College

Del Birkey began his pastoral ministry at age twenty while in Bible College. He ministered as an evangelist as well as a visiting seminary professor. He received his D.Min degree from Bethany Theological Seminary.
